🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
This room is their largest room in terms of square footage. If you have a large group, this room is the best to fit everyone in. If you are an enthusiast looking for a challenge, this is a great room as there's a lot of space to cover and plenty of puzzles to solve.
The contrasting set designs for the various rooms we had encountered in the game made the story more intriguing as we were able to discovery the different personalities of Dr. Jekyll.
There's a good amount of variations in the types of puzzles you'll encounter in this game.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
The storyline felt weak to us. We didn't understand why we were in a certain place and what led us into that space at the first place. The ending also missed that "wow" moment.
There was a riddle that we thought was a riddle but it ended up being just a giveaway in terms of the solution which was confusing to us.
There was a mechanism that was very sensitive. Perhaps a more clear indication on how the prop should be placed would be nice as we tried a good amount of times and it wouldn't trigger.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
There's definitely a sense of mystery with this room. Right when we entered, we felt that there was more to it than a normal doctor's office and there was! The more puzzles we solved, the more secrets we revealed. Since the storyline was about Jekyll & Hyde, we felt that the room could be creepier. And I think the creator felt the same way because they have since revamped this room completely and it's now a much darker and scarier room called Mr. Hyde. The puzzles are all different so it's a brand new room. You should definitely check out what's hidden in Mr. Hyde's new lair and let us know what you thought about this new experience!
